I really need some help with Wiiflow Masterpiece Mod on the Wii U.
My problem is, I have two USB's, one is formatted for the WiiU games, the other is for Wii and gamecube games. Problem is, whenever I try to play with the WiiU Usb in the top slot, the wiigc usb on the bottom slot, my gamecube games work fine, but my wii games just go black, and back to the menu. But when I try to play with the WiiUSB on bottom, and Wiigc usb on top, then my wii games play fine, but my gc games crash.
I did find out both play fine, if I set the CIOS to 251, but then the problem is, I get this annoying static sound when I play certain games.
I just want to know if there is a trick I a missing, so I can have both my usb's in my wii u, and play my games with out a problem.

I have an issue :/. First of all, I am using vwii on my Wii U, I have used D2x cIOS v10 and installed beta 53 (base 56/249, base 57/250, and base 58/251), and I have installed DIOSMIOSLite2.6.wad. My next steps were copying all of the Wiiflow Masterpiece mod files directly over to my SD card. I then added 3 .wbfs Wii games to the SD card (due to the fact that I still need the Y-cable for my external HDD) in the wbfs folder on the root of the SD card. I then launched homebrew channel and ran Wiiflow which loads up perfectly. I saw my games and downloaded the cover art for them. Now that you have an idea of what was done, here is my issue. On all 3 games, the screen goes black when loaded and it restarts back to the homebrew channel. I have done research on this and attempted to force all three games to use IOS 250 with the same results. If I try 249, again same results. 251 however, freezes the console completely and I have to pull the plug from the back of the Wii U. That being said, I can play Gamecube games (on the same SD card) with no issues at all with Nintendont. I know it is a separate IOS but I just wanted to be clear. My first thought was to use my 32gb Sandisk Cruzer Glide flash drive (which is on the compatibility list) but it doesn't even recognize that it is in the Wii U (back of the console, top slot). Have I missed something or is there anything that I am not getting? I feel like I have gone as far as I can with this on my own and could really use the help. Thanks in advance!

I should also note that this is the same SD card that I used in my old Wii and Wiiflow worked just fine on it. I am stumped on this one.

Edit: I just used SysCheck that came with the pack and The results are:


Region: NTSC-U
System Menu 4.3U (v609)
Drive Date: 07.12.2012
Homebrew Channel 1.1.2 running on IOS58

Hollywood v0x21
Console ID: XXXXXXXXXXX
Console Type: vWii
Shop Channel Country United States (49)
Boot2 v0
Found 50 titles.
Found 35 IOS on this console. 0 of them are stub.


IOS9-57: No Patches
IOS58 (rev 6432): USB 2.0
IOS59-80: No Patches
IOS236 (rev 65535): Trucha Bug, ES Identify, NAND Access
IOS249[56] (rev 21010, Info: d2x-v10beta53-alt-vwii): Trucha Bug, NAND Access
IOS249[57] (rev 21010, Info: d2x-v10beta53-alt-vwii): Trucha Bug, NAND Access
IOS249[58] (rev 21010, Info: d2x-v10beta53-alt-vwii): Trucha Bug, NAND Access
IOS512-513: No Patches

I just tried a different SD card which gave me the same results. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

you need cIOS d2x v10 beta 53 in slots 249 or 250 and select this cIOS and the port in startup settings

Thank you for replying, but I have some questions. One, I cannot see an option for a port in the start up settings of my CIOS installer. Also, installing the beta 53, can it only be one slot, 249 or 250, or can it be both?

the port selection is in wiiflow startup settings
you can install beta 53 to any slot you can have base 56 in 249 and 57 in 250 and set cIOS to 249 in wiiflow startup settings too

I am open to any and all suggestions. I cannot get this to work at all. Also, I know it's not the games because they work fine with Dolphin.

Thank you

Updated Neek2o to rev 96 beta 9.6
This is mainly for vWii users since vWii support was finally added by Overjoy (Thanks boss for the new update)

https://www.copy.com/s/ywz8y9YeI0aEhdtv/uneek2o%20r96%20beta%209.6.7z

The 7z file has:
* 4 wads (2 for Wii and 2 for vWii) for nSwitch Channel v4.2 (2 for Real nand and 2 for Emunand)
the banner has a looping soundtrack now too
* a sneek folder with the new wii and vwii kernels (should be copied to root of HDD-Primary-Active-First-Fat partition)
* app folder with nswitch app (for hbc users)

I tested everything on Wii (no WiiU here sadly) but everything should work fine (except for wiiflow launching via neek2o - will get updated later)

vWii users has to dump their real nand to use this build since the premade emunands are for wii users only

Enjoy the new update and thanks again Overjoy :)
Dude, some help please.
Is USBLOADER GX's emuNAND dump enough for this? Or do I have to follow JoostinOnline's guide? http://www.hacksden.com/showthread.php/8119-Compiling-a-vWii-compatible-version-of-SNEEK
Do I HAVE to install anything on my console if I only want to use it trough USBLOADER GX? To launch VC/WiiWare etc...
I mean, the whole idea behind using neek for me at least is to avoid installing anything to the real nand.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

move the wbfs files to a usb flash pen drive
Wii games run better from USB devices than SD cards

Thank you for the suggestion! I do have another flash drive that I am actually going to try right now. Hopefully it will work. As far as the steps I took, they are all good am I correct?

Thank you!

Also to be clear, I am going to format it in FAT32, I am sure that NTFS will work but I am going to try this first as this is the format I used for the SD card

Hi. Yeah, I know. I already got it.
I was asking for some help setting it up if possible.
Like if I could use the emuNAND dump from USBLOADER GX or if I need to compile it following the guide I linked to.
And If I have to install stuff to my real vWii nand even though I only intend to launch WW and VC from USBLOADER GX.
Thanks.

I can say that for the Wii you can extract the premade emunands and install your wads there using showmiiwads
As for vWii I have no idea what's the best way to do it since I don't have one to test

Well after trying 3 more flash drives, I still can't get the games to load. I see my games and even downloaded the covers for them. I force IOS250 and nothing. Black screen and back to homebrew channel. USB Loader GX works fine so I am done with this Wiiflow crap. Thanks for the help.

Flash drives are quite unreliable, I believe that certain brands work better like scandisk. I believe there is a compatibility list somewhere?

If you are referring to "force Wii U widescreen" you should have checked options first, there is an option to disable it.

Now, on to my question for this thread;

ABZ, to be honest, I don't have time to sort through thousands of posts on dozens of threads,, so I just want to clarify, the only wiiflow plugin that supports WUPC is nintendont/devolution? The modded homebrew apps by fix94 have the support but cannot be used in wiiflow yet? I spent ages getting covers and making my coverflow amazing, but to play with my best controllers, I have to launch them from homebrew channel. (Its kinda awkward as well since I have my wii booting straight to wiiflow), and to play a game with WUPC I need to go from Wiiflow to HBC to snes9x/vbagx/etc and then when I exit any of them, it goes back to wiiflow. It would seem like I should've just kept Wii menu as first boot and installed forwarder channels....
